TL;DR
A newly installed elevator at Montreal's Du Collège metro station has improved accessibility, especially for mobility-impaired passengers, aligning with STM's goal of enhancing universal accessibility across the transit system. The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) aims to have 41 out of 68 metro stations equipped with elevators by 2025. Currently, 31 stations have elevators, but some accessibility advocates argue that progress is too slow and that the lack of elevators limits independence and access for individuals with disabilities. Ongoing efforts continue to make public transit more inclusive for all users.
